About Financial Traders: Extreme wealth, greed and depression. Welcome to the trading game.

Come and see us at the Clapham Grand on Tuesday 16th April: https://dice.fm/event/qlmnx-joe-marler-presents-things-people-did-16th-apr-the-clapham-grand-london-tickets?lng=en

Our guest this week is Gary, who used to be Citi Bank's most profitable trader in the world back in 2011. He tells Joe and Tom all about how the trading floor works, and if it is actually anything like The Wolf of Wall Street. He also explains how he used to move millions of dollars around like it was a game, the toxic masculinity he experienced and how he eventually walked away from it all due to poor mental health. His story is pretty incredible, and you can buy his book 'The Trading Game' here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-trading-game/gary-stevenson/9780241636602

You can subscribe to his YouTube channel, Garys Economics, here: https://www.youtube.com/@garyseconomics
